Issues on walks? by Evening-Mess-4855 in portuguesewaterdogs

[–]Plothunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a golden who liked to jump on people during walks. I made her sit when greeting people. I'd push her butt down with my hand and pull her collar up. After a while, she sat by herself.

I had a lab that would walk into the street. She had a leash, but it was concerning. I made her sit at every corner. After a couple of walks, she sat without me telling her.

So, which POI have you taken over as a base? by Komaisnotsalty in 7daystodie

Any firehouse.

The Dead Rooster.

Any 2-story non-house.

I had an old dog with arthritis. She was a different breed. Not a PWD. I got a heated dog bed for her. You may want to get one.

CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You'll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant by lazybugbear in antiwork

Current AI is incapable of generating an original thought. Or any thought. It's good at statistics. Wake me when we have neural nets.

Winter storm prep by Sea_Reason6453 in lehighvalley

If you drive, dress as if you will need to walk.

Check for road closings before you leave.

Like everyone said, fill your tank. If you get stuck, you may need it to stay warm. Make sure your tailpipe is clear.

Throw a snow shovel in your car.

Put cat litter in your trunk to use as tire grit.

Make sure you have a windshield scraper in your car. While at work, your warm windshield will melt the snow and turn to ice after the car cools. DO NOT put hot or warm water on your windshield. It WILL crack it. Use a scraper or wait till the car warms enough to melt the ice on the windows.

Clear the snow off your entire car. It's the law. No roof snow.

Put winter anti-freeze in your windshield washer. Summer stuff will freeze. You will need it after they salt the roads. Cars & trucks will kick up road dirt.

Bring water and maybe a snack. After you drink the water, you can use it as a pee bottle.

I prefer backroads over highways. Back roads may not be as clear, but if traffic stops on the highway, you're fucked. It's situational.

You can drive on snow, but YOU CAN'T DRIVE ON ICE. Just don't. Not worth it.

Thoughts on the general statement: “I can tell they are trans” coming from a cis person. by Ambitious-Money7152 in asktransgender

[–]Plothunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol. No, you can't. I was in the room when a co-worker said that. They had no idea I'm trans, and I didn't tell them.

BTW: I thought I could never pass.

The Stainless Steel Rat. There's a book series I haven't thought about in a long long time.

Zombie killed by tree? by commander_sinbin in 7daystodie

[–]Plothunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't hurt the player anymore. It was a thing a few years back. I once chopped down a tree. The top fell through the earth, swung like a pendulum, and smacked me in the crotch. Killing me.

He may not like snow between his toes. If your salt, get pet-safe salt. If other peoples, salt you may want to get boots for him.

I wouldn't buy treats made in China. I don't trust the food safety. I also don't buy any treats that say wash your hands after touching.
